delysid d its a british gangster film thats up there with get carter and the long good friday Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/17/20 Full Review Audience Member Hilariously bad 'hard man' movie, stuffed with RADA actors trying on mockney accents. Richard Burton - puffy and red-eyed - is London mobster Vic Dakin. You can tell he's a nasty piece of work because he SHOUTS and wears black and he needs a haircut. He also has a lover - Ian McShane - but we don't want to go there, cos this is 1971. McShane and T.P. McKenna give good performances, in part because they know it's a film, not a tribute to Henry Irving. An unconscious influence on Viz's Big Vern. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review s r Could've been better, but it was entertaining. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Strong British gangster film, with the focus on a messy heist. Richard Burton dominates with his very domineering character, although there's a plethora of UK acting talent on show all doing their best to compliment the lead. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member tough British gangster film. not a classic but certainly enough about it to keep viewer interested Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member After reading the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's second volume of its Century series, I had to see who this Vic Dakin character was. 'Villain' was admittedly a bit of a surprise, with Richard Burton playing a sadistic (yet emotionally vulnerable, closeted homosexual) East End crime boss whose manic appetite for violence and chaos precludes him from sitting on his laurels. While not overly memorable, it made for a fun sit-through. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
